Unusual emission of light, called the unconventional Smith-Purcell radiation (uSPR) in this paper, was demonstrated from an electron traveling near a finite photonic crystal (PhC) at an ultra-relativistic velocity. This phenomenon is not…

We consider the radiation from an electron in flight over a surface wave of an arbitrary profile excited in a plane interface. For an electron bunch the conditions are specified under which the overall radiation essentially exceeds the…

There is a controversy of how to interpret interactions of electrons with a large spatial coherence with light and matter. When such an electron emits a photon, it can do so either as if its charge were confined to a point within a…

As charged particles surpass the speed of light in an optical medium they produce radiation - analogously to the way jet planes surpass the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom. This radiation emission, known as the Cherenkov effect, is…

Slow swift electrons with low self-inertia interact differently with matter and light in comparison with their relativistic counterparts: they are easily recoiled, reflected, and also diffracted form optical gratings and nanostructures. As…

Recent advances in the development of bound states in the continuum offer new strategies to tailor electron-wave interaction and hence control the electron-induced emission. In this article we investigate the design to produce stimulated…

We study Smith-Purcell radiation from a conducting grating generated by an inclined passage of a shaped electron wave packet with an electric quadrupole moment in the non-paraxial regime. Spreading of an asymmetric wave packet induces…

The concept of Scwartzschild radius is extended to the photon and the upper limit imposed on the energy of a photon as a result of the three characteristics of the photon--the constancy of the velocity of light, the spin value of $1\hslash$…

During the last few years, several studies have proposed the existence of a threshold separating classical from quantum behavior of objects that is dependent on the size and mass of an object as well as being dependent on certain properties…

Energy dissipation is of fundamental interest and crucial importance in quantum systems. However, whether energy dissipation can emerge inside topological systems remains a question, especially when charge transport is topologically…

We argue that while the experiment of Remez et al. is interesting and its conclusions may well be correct, the observed lack of dependence of the measured distributions on the electron's transverse coherence length should have been expected…

The electron residual energy originated from the stochastic heating in under-dense field-ionized plasma is here investigated. The optical response of plasma is initially modeled by using the concept of two counter-propagating…

Spatial localization of the electrons of an atom or molecule is studied in models of non-relativistic matter coupled to quantized radiation. We give two definitions of the ionization threshold. One in terms of spectral data of cluster…
